THE  FALLS  are  so  situated  that  one  can  spend  days  in  their  vicinity 
with  profit.  Weelcs  could  be  spent  exploring  their  surroundings,  and  each 
day  would  bring  to  light  ^ 

some  new  attraction.  ~'*~  -.^    -^       -*-  "^ 

If  your  stay   '.s  to  be  ^  ^ 

limited  to  a  few  hours,  you  will  find  it  advan-  ~   V  - 


tageous  to  have  definite  plans  upon  arrival. 

If  you  intend  to  take  a  carriage  on  arriving,  arrange  for  it  through  the  agent  on  the  train  if 
possible;  you  will  find  it  will  save  you  much  annoyance,  and  add  greatly  to  your  comfort.  The 
Parks  in  the  immediate  vicinity  of  the  Falls  are  free,  and  you  need  not  spend  a  penny  to  see 
Niagara  in  all  its  grandeur,  but  if  you  wish  lo  make  a  tour  of  the  Falls,  crossing  bridges,  descend- 
ing incline  railways,  or  riding  on  the  Maid  of  the  Mist,  you  will  have  to  pay  for  such  privileges. 

Nothing  adds  more  to  the  pleasure  of  sight-seeing  than  good  humor.     Oftener  than  not  it  is 
the  visitor's  own  fault  if  he  is  imposed  upon.     Ordinary  precaution 
precludes  extortion. 

At  no  other  re.rort  in  the  world  does  the  visitor  get  so  much  for 
nothing  or  find  such  well  regulated  charges  as  at  Niagara  Falls 
under  the  present  system. 

I  have  taken  over  eighty  thousand  people  to  the  Falls,  and 
have  found  the  above  to  be  facts.  If  I  need  a  carriage  I  patronize

impression    of    the 

great  panorama  that  presents  itself  to  the  eye  of  the 
tourist  as  he  views  the  Falls  of  Niagara  for  the  first

sent themselves,  and  the  reflections  of  the  mind  that 
follow,  all  combine  to  complete  the  grand  scene. 
Forests,  cliffs  and  islands ;  banks,  foam  and  spray, 
wood,  rock  and  precipice,  dimmed  with  the  rising  mist, 
are  all  seen  in  one  view   canopied  and  gilded  by  the  softening  tints  of  the  rambow.

Of  all  the  sights  on  this  earth  of  ours  which  tourists  travel  to  see-at  least  all  of  those  which  I  have  seen-I  am  inclined 
to  Rive  the  palm  to  the  Falls  of  Niagara.  In  the  catalogue  of  such  sights  I  will  include  all  buildings  pictures  statues  and 
wonder  of  art  made  by  men's  hands,  and  also  all  beauties  of  nature  prepared  by  the  Creator  for  the  '^'^  '«';^-  ";^;-  7^

It  is  related  of  that  unconventional  Englishman.  Lord  Byron,  that  on  meeting  an  American  gentleman,  just  arrived  m 
London  he  asked  abruptly  if  the  traveler  had  ever  seen  Niagara  Falls.  The  American  contritely  admitted  that  he  never  had.

between  the  two  cliffs,  aithouRh  solid  and  substantial  as  man's  ingenuity  can  make  it.  There,  sus- 
pended in  mid-air  between  precipices  inclosing  a  terrilying  chasm,  through  which  rushes  the  mighty 
flood,  it  is  impossible  to  stand  without  experienring  that  feeling  of  enthusiasm  connected  with  the 
assumption  that  the  creation  contains  no  power  too  great  for  humaii  control.  Yet,  when  the  heavily- 
laden  freight  trains  cause  the  fabric  to  tremble,  the  possibility  of  the  breaking  of  the  bridge  seems  so 
near,  and  total  destruction  in  that  event  so  certain,  then  the  feeling  of  exultation  is  necessarily  allied 
with'that  of  fear,  recalling  the  idea  of  standing  face  to  face  with  eternity.  This,  briefly  and  tersely,  is 
the  locale  of  Niagara,  which  is  at  once  a  village  and  a  city,  for 
the  reason  that  it  contains  such;grand  and  interesting  scenery  as 
well  as  splendid  manufacturing  establishments  and  triumphs  of 
human  skill,  although  it  has  not  more  than  6,000  inhabitants  !

THE  NAME  NIAGARA.— The  word  Niagara  is  a  house- 
hold  word  !»11  over  the  world.  It  is  applied  only  to  the  locality, 
and  is  today  the  synonym  for  the  ideal  waterfall.  It  is  ol  Indian 
origin,  for  the  Indians  once  inhabited  all  this  country,  and  much 
of  the  nomenclature  of  Western  New  York  is  traceable  direclly  to 
them.  Niagara  is  supposed  to  be  borrowed  from  the  language  of 
the  Iroquois,  and  means  "The  Thunder  of  the  Waters."  It  was 
the  name  of  a  tribe,  for  it  was  an  Indian  custom  to  call  their  tribes 
from  the  most  important  natural  feature  of  the  country  they 
inhabited,  or  to  give  the  tribal  name  to  such  feature, 

The  first  description  that  we  have  is  that  of  Father  Hennepin, 
published  in  1678.     We  here  quote  a  part  of  his  description;

NO  VISIT  to  Niagara  Falls  is  complete  without  the-  trip  to  Lewiston,  which  can 
be  made  so  easily  and  quickly. 
The  Lewiston  Branch  of  the  New  York  Central  extends  from  Niagara  halls 
along  shelving  rock  over-looking  the  magnificent  scenery  of  the  Niagara  Gorge,  and  m 
full  view  of  Queenston  Heights,  the  Whirlpool  Rapids  and  Brocks  Monument.  River 
View  'trains,  fitted  with  observation  cars,  are  run  at  frequent  intervals,  connecting  at 
Lewiston  with  a  fine  new  steamer  on  Niagara  River,  making  trips  to  N.agara-on-the-Lake. 
from  which  point  connection  is  made  for  Youngstown,  etc. 

The  New  York  Central  has  acquired  control  of  a  very  desirable  grove  at  Lewiston

insomuch  rhat  the  universe  does  not  afford  its  parallel.  Tis  true,  //u/y  and  SutMotid  boast  of  such  things  ;  but  we  may 
well  say  that  they  are  but  sorry  patterns  when  compared  to  this  of  which  we  now  speak.  At  the  foot  of  this  horrible  pre- 
cipice we  meet  with  the  River  A^ia^nm,,  which  is  not  above  a  quarter  of  a  league  broad,  but  is  wonderfully  deep  m  some 
places  It  is  so  rapid  above  this  descent,  that  it  violently  hurries  down  the  wild  beasts  while  endeavoring  to  pass  it  to  feed 
on  the  other  side,  they  not  being  able  to  withstand  the  force  of  its  Current,  which  inevitably  casts  them  headlong  above  six 
hundred  feet  high.  /'    ~''\' /   ^ 

"  This  wonderful  Downfall  is  compounded  of 
two  cross-streams  of  Water  and  two  falls,  with  an 
isle  sloping  along  the  middle  of  it.  The  waters 
which  fall  from  this  horrible  Precipice,  do  foam 
and  boyl  after  the  most  hideous  manner  imagin- 
able, making  an  outrageous  noise,  more  terrible 
than  that  of  Thunder;  for  when  the  wind  blows 
out  of  the  South  their  dismal  roaring  may  be 
heard  more  than  Fifteen  Leagues  off." 

The  Niagara  River  is  merely  one  link  in  the 
chain  which  conducts  the  waters  of  Lake  Superior 
to  the  Atlantic.  It  is  called  the  Niagara  River, 
between  the  two  lakes  Erie  and  Ontario.  When 
it  leaves  Lake  Ontario,  it  is  the  River  St.  Law- 
rence, which  is  700  miles  long,  and  falls  into  the 
Gulf  of  St.  Lawrence. 

It  is  a  part  of  the  boundary  line  between  the 
United   States   and    Canada— so   decreed   by  the 

Treaty   of  Ghent  in    iSi?.     By  that   treaty,  the   boundary   line   runs 
through   the   center   of    the   Great    Lakes,    and   through   the    deepest 


^.■.j^ridgt- 


channel    of    the    rivers.     By   this    means   over   three-fourths   of    the

islands  in  the  river,  including  all  the  important  ones  but  one, 
belong  to  the  United  States.  Of  these  islands  there  are  in  all 
thirty-six,  of  which  Grand  Island  is  the  largest,  and  Goat  Island 
the  most  famous. 

In  its  course  the  river  falls  336  feet,  as  follows  :     From  Lake 
_^       Erie  to  the  Rapids  above  the  falls,  15  feet ;  in  the  Rapids,  55  feet; 
at  the  Falls,  161  feet;  from  falls  to  Lewiston,  98  feet;  from  Lewis- 
"^5.?rijl.»J      ton  to  Lake  Ontario,  7  feet.     Its  sources  are: 
I  Superior,  the  larg\si  body  of  fresh  water  in  the  world;  355  miles  long,  160  miles  wide,  1,030  feet  deep. 

Lake  Huron,  260  miles  long,  100  miles  wide,  1,000  feet  deep. 
Lake  Michigan,  320  miles  long,  70  miles  wide,  1,000  feet  deep. 
Lake  St.  Clair,  49  miles  long,  13  miles  wide,  20  feet  deep. 
Lake  Erie,  290  miles  long.  65  miles  wide,  84  feet  deep. 

Several  smaller  lakes,  with  one  hundred  rivers,  large  and  small,  pour  their  waters  this 
way,  draining  a  country  of  more  than  one  hundred  and  fifty  thousand  square  r.iiles.  This 
is  the  drainage  of  almost  half  a  continent,  and  whose  remotest  springs  are  2,000  miles  from 
the  ocean. 

With  such  a  supply  it  is  not  surprising  that 
the  volume  of  the  Niagara  River  is  never 
noticeably  diminished.  A,>

more  fresh  water  pours  into  the  ocean  than  "-.rough  the  mouth,  prob- 
ably,  of  any  one  river  in  the  world. 

The  river  over  the  American  Fall  falls  159  feet,  and  over  the 
Canadian  165,  the  difference  being  caused  by  the  greater  accumulation 
of  rock  at  the  base  of  the  former. 

The  Niagara  is  never  frozen  over,  but  it  accumulates  more  ice  than 
any  other  river  in  the  world. 

The  average  depth  of  the  river  from  Lake  Erie  to  the  Falls  is 
about  20  feet.  In  some  places  it  is  over  two  miles  wide.  At  the 
narrowest  point  near  the  Whirlpool,  the  current  is  above  40  miles  per 
hour,  and  at  the  widest  part  about  four  miles  per  hour. 

Between  the  Falls  and  the  Whirlpool,  the  depth  varies  from  75  to 

200  feet.     At  the  Whirlpool  Rapids  it  is  estimated  at  250  feet;  in  the 

Whirlpool  at  400.     But  it  should  be  recalled  that  this  is  the  depth  of  the 

water  alone.     The  mass  of  stone,  gravel,  shale,  etc.,  which  in  one  way 

and  another  has  been  carried  into  the  channel,  lies  below  the  water 

and  above  the  original  bottom  of  the  gorge,  which,  therefore. 

is  probably  as  deep  again.     Various  estimates  have  been  given 

of  the  amount  of  water  going  over  the  Falls.     A  point  300  feet 

wide  below  the  Falls  being  selected,  the  depth  estimated,  and 

the  velocity  of  the  current  known,  it  was  estimated  that  1,500- 

000,000  cubic  feet  passed  that  point  every  minute. 

Another  estimate  says  100,000,000  of  tons  pass  through  the 
Whirlpool  every  hour. 

Judge  DeVeaux  estimated  that  5,000,000,000  barrels  go  over 
every  24  hours;  211,836,853  barrels  an  hour;  3.559.614  barrela 
a  minute;  58,343  barrels  each  second.

The  Falls  are  in  latitude  43"  6"  north  ;  longi- 
tude  2°  5"  \'itAi  from  Washln^iton,  or  790  5"  west 
from  Greenwich. 

The  Horseshoe  Fall  has  an  agRregate  length  of 
2,000  feet;  the  American  Fall  about  800  feet. 

The  view  of  the  Falls  at  sunrise  and  at  sunset 
is  particularly  grand. 

The  moonlight  views  of  Niagara  are  indescrib- 
ably weird  and  delicate,  and  it  will  repay  the 
traveler  to  journey  far  to  see  them.  Solar  bows 
formed  by  the  reflection  of  the  sun  on  the  spray  can 
be  seen  on  any  bright  day.  when  the  visitor  is 
between  the  sun  and  the  spray.  Lunar  bows,  seen 
at  nigh',  are  formed  in  a  similar  way  by  lunar 
beams.     The  spectator  must  be  similarly  placed. 

The  roar  of  the  Falls  can  be  heard  a  long  way  if  the  wind  blows 
tow  -d  the  listener.  It  has  been  heard  at  Toronto,  44  miles,  and  at 
BufValo,  22  miles.  When  the  wind  blows  from  the  listener,  the  roar  is 
hardly  heard,  even  when  one  is  within  a  few  feet  of  the  cataract. 

A  loud  roaring  of  the  Falls  is  said  to  indicate  rain.  The  rain  winds 
come  from  the  west,  and  a  west  wind  brings  the  sound  over  the  village. 

Niagara  Falls  in  winter  is  a  scene  that  no  pen  can  describe.  The  ice 
bridges  are  simply  accumulations  of  ice  that  fill  the  gorge  below  the  Falls. 
The  ice  is  often  30  feet  thick,  and  its  surface  is  as  uneven  as  it  is  possible. 
These  so-called  bridges  can  be  crossed  with  safety.  Sometimes  they 
extend  up  and  down  stream  for  half  a  mile,  and  several  winters  it  has

to  Goat  Island,  mounting  the  Hiildle  Stairs,  or  returning  by  the  same  route  to  the  Ferry  Stairs. 
Many  people  have  taken  this  foolhardy  journey.  The  ice  that  collects  on  the  trees  is  formed  by  the 
spray  freezing  layer  by  layer,  and  is  very  hard,  and  pure  white,  and  glistens  in  the  sunlight  with 
exceptional  brightness.  No  such  ice  scenery— on  the  banks  for  long  icicles,  in  the  river  for  ice 
jams,  on  the  trees  for  delicate  and  fantastically  shaped  ice  tracery— can  be  found  elsewhere. 

Numberless  accidents  have  happened  at  Niagara— suicides,  murders,  drowning,  over  the  Falls, 
etc.  One  or  two  accidents  are  specially  mentioned  in  this  work,  but  it  would  be  useless  to  give  a 
full  list  of  even  known  accidents.  The  number  of  those  who  have  taken  the  fatal  plunge  at  night, 
unseen,  save  by  the  "  Eye  that  sleepeth  not,"  can  neveiV  be  ascertained.  Some  years  there  will  be 
no  known  accident ;  again,  there  have  been  twelve  in  a  single  season.  A  famous  accident  was  that 
of  July  19,  1853.  Early  in  the  morning  a  man  was  seen  on  a  rock  in  the  American  Rapids,  midway 
between  the  Falls  and  Goat  Island.  He  proved  to  be  Mr.  Avery,  who  in  crossing  the  river  had  been 
drawn  into  the  Rapids  and  caught  there.  People  flocked  from  all  over  the  country  to  see  him. 
Boats  and  ropes  were  lowered.  Several  boats  were  lost  and  two  sank  near  him.  Food  was  sent  to 
him  in  tin  cans.  A  raft  was  made  and  lowered,  and  reached  him  safely.  He  got  on  it  and  seized 
the  ropes.     It  was  floated  over  to  Chapin  Island,  but  caught  there.     A  boat  was  lowered  and  touched

point  two  ropes  diverged,  one  on  either  side  to  the  nearest  bank.  Across  the  rope  at  this  point,  and  afterward  at  a  point 
midway  between  the  old  Suspension  Bridge  and  the  Falls,  he  repeatedly  crossed  the  chasm,  performing  tricks,  at  one  time 
wheeling  a  wheelbarrow  ;  once  carrying  a  man  on  his  back  ;  once  with  peach  baskets  on  his  feet  (this  when  the  Prince  of 
Wales  was  a  spectator),  and  once  in  the  night,  when  an  attempt  was  made  to  light  up  the  chasm.  He  carried  a  heavy 
balance  pole,  by  which  he  steadied  himself.  He  was  a  man  of  iron  nerve,  and  could  he  have  obtained  permission,  would 
have  stretched  his  rope  from  the  Terrapin  Rocks  to  the  opposite  shore,  and  thus,  in  the  midst  of  the  spray  and  rainbows, 
have  assayed  to  cross  the  yawning  gulf,  and  he  probably  would  have  succeeded. 

Since  that  time  not  less  than  three  men  and  one  woman  have  performed  the  feat  of  walking  over  the  chasm  on  a  tight 
rope.

In  1873,  a  fellow,  Belleni  by  name,  stretched  a  rope  from  opposite  the 
Clifton  House  to  Prospect  Park.  Walking  to  the  centre  of  the  rope,  he  three 
times  leaped  off  into  space  and  sank  into  the  river  below,  a  distance  of  200 
feet.  He  had  a  rubber  cord  an  inch  in  diameter  and  twelve  feet  long  con- 
structed, one  end  being  securely  fastened  to  the  rope.  Holding  the  other 
end  firmly  in  his  descent  the  tension  served  to  hold  him  in  an  upright  posi- 
tion. The  third  time  the  cord  broke  and  entangled  his  feet,  so  that  below 
water  he  was  tightly  bound.  He  sank  so  deep  that  he  nearly  suflfocated. 
He  was  picked  up  by  the  boat  which  was  in  readiness,  but.  in  an  exhausted 
condition. 

In  1878,  after  duly  advertising  the  fact,  a  man  named  Peer  dropped 
from  the  centre  of  the  New  Suspension  Bridge  into  the  river.  The  platform 
by  which  he  hung  by  his  hands  while  posing  himself  is  still  attached  to  the 
bridge,  beyond  the  rail  in  the  center  of  the  bridge,  on  the  side  towards  the 
Falls.     He  performed  the  feat  in  safety.

But  the  most  daring  feet  was  that  performed 
June  15,  1861,  by  J.  R.  Robinson,  a  brave  and 
noble  man,  and  one  whose  name  for  deeds  of 
daring  and  for  assistance  rendered  to  Aien  who 
were  endp.ngered  in  the  Rapids  of  the  Niagara  will 
ever  be  fondly  cherished  here. 

In  1S46,  a  small  steamer,  called  the  "Maid  of 

the  Mist,"  was  built   below  the   Falls,  and  made 

regular  trips  up  close  to  the  Falls  and  back.     In 

1S54,  a  larger  and  better  boat,  90  feet  long,  was 

built,  and  continued  the  business  successfully.     In 

1S61,  being  restricted  to  the  Canadian   shore   for 

passengers,  she  did  not  pay,  and  as  the  Sheriff  was 

about  to  levy  on  her  for  debt,  it  was  necessary  to 

get  her  away.     There  was  but  one  route.     But  who 

would   pilot   her?    No  one  but  Robinson,  and  he 

agreed  to  deliver  her  at  Lake  Ontario,  and  he  did. 

Two  men  went  with  him,  and  on  the  date  above  they  started.     In  tha 

Whirlpool  Rapids  the  boat  was  terribly  battered,  and  her  smokestack 

torn   ofl,  the   men    being   knocked   down   and  powerless.     When  she 

reached  the  Whirlpool,  Robinson  seized  the  tiller  and,  before  she  was 

sucked  into  any  of  the  eddies,  guided   her  into  t!  e  outlet,   whence 

through  the  rushing,  dashing  waters  she  sped  like  a  bird,  and  reached 

Lewiston  and  quiet  waters  in  safety.     Robinson  is  said  to  have  received 

500  for  his  services  during  the  20  minutes  intervening  between  leaving 

the  ferry  stairs  and  their  arrival  at  Lewiston. 

HOW  THE  FALLS  WERE  MADE  FREE.— In  the  summer 
of  1878,  Lord  Dufferin,  Governor-General  of  Canada,  had  a  conversa- 
tion with  Governor  Lucius  Robinson  of  the  State  of  New  York,  con-

cerning  Niagara's  fallen  estate,  and  from  this  conversation  is 
reckoned  the  beginning  of  official  action  towards  bringing  about  a 
better  state  of  things.  The  idea  was  first  publicly  spoken  of  by 
Lord  Dufferin  in  a  speech  delivered  in  Toronto  before  the  Ontario 
Society  of  Artists,  on  September  26,  1878.  In  the  following 
October,  subsequent  to  the  conversation  with  Governor  Robinson 
referred  to.  Lord  Dufferin  formally  brought  the  matter  to  the 
attention  of  the  New  York  State  authorities  in  a  letter  to  Governor 
Robinson,  who  laid  the  project  before  the  Legislature  in  the  fol- 
lowing January,  and  recommended  the  appointment  of  a  com- 
mission to  consider  the  subject.  A  commission  was  accordingly 
appointed.  Its  report  recommended  the  acquisition  of  the  lands 
adjoining  the  Falls,  and  the  appointment  of  a  commission  to  take 
the  necessary  legal  measures.  Canadians  are  justified  in  claiming 
for  Lord  Dufferin  the  credit  of  being  the  agitator  of  the  free  park 
idea;  Americans  may  continue  to  maintain  that  Governor  Robin- 
son deserves  ihe  honor  of  taking  the  first  step  to  make  the  Falls 
free.  As  a  matter  of  fact,  all  that  either  of  them  did  was  to 
become  impressed  (rather  tardily  than  otherwise)  with  the  public 
sentiment  in  the  matter,  and  to  recommend  legislative  action. 
Lord  Dufferin  urged  the  matter  upon  the  Provincial  Government 
of  Ontario ;  Governor  Robinson  brought  it  before  the  Legislature 
of  the  State  of  New  York  ;  and  the  slow  machinery  of  legislation 
was  fairly  set  at  work  on  both  sides  of  the  river.  Strange  as  it 
may  seem,  determined  opposition  was  encountered,  both  in  the 
form  of  private  interests  and  legislative  indifference.  A  feature 
of   this   battle,  which    was   waged    against  official  hesitancy  and

remarkable  memorial  asking  for  the  enfranchisement  of 
Niagara,  which   had  been  addressed   in   duplicate  to  the 
Governor-General  of  Canada  and   the  Governor  of   New 
York  by  about  600  of  the  most  eminent  men  of  the  United 
States,  Canada  and   Great   Britain,"  among   them    being 
Prof.  Max  Muller,  Sir  John  Lubbock,  Thomas  Carlyle  and 
Johr.   Ruskin.     Three  years  later  the  signature  of  Gover- 
nor (ex-President)  Cleveland  made  the  "  Park  bill"  a  law. 
When  the  news  was  recei\ed  at  Niagara  there 
was  great  rejoicing.     Up  went  the  American  flags

priviiic  buildinps  and  places  of  Ijusinrss.  The  hotels  on  the 
Canadian  side  joined  their  American  cousins  in  displaying  their 
enthusiam,  by  hoisting  the  Union  Jack.  On  a  memorable  15th 
of  July,  1885,  the  New  York  State  Park  at  Niagara  Falls  was 
opened  with  ceremony,  attended  by  60,000  people,  and  declared 
free  to  all  the  world.  The  115  acres  which  constitute  the  I'ark 
were  bought  from  private  owners,  after  long  apjirai^-'l  proceed- 
ings, for  $1,433,429.50. 

For  the  information  of  those  patrons  of  the  Western  New

POINTS  OF  INTEREST. 

GOAT  ISLAND.— The  "  Gout  Island  Group"  so-called,  consists  of  a  large  island 
standing  on  the  verge  of  a  cliff  over  which  the  cataract  pours,  and  dividing  the  river  in 
such  a  manner  as  to  form  from  its  waters  two  Falls— the  one  being  known  as  the 
"  American  "  AnA  the  other  as  the  "  Horseshoe  or  Caimdian  Falls,"  unA  includes  sr-eral 
other  smaller  islands,  notably  Bath  Island,  Luna  Island,  Terrapin  Rocks,  Three  Sisters 
Islands,  and  ten  others  not  yet  accessible  by  bridges. 

Goat  Island  was,  in  ancient  times,  one  of  the  favorite  burying  grounds  of  the 
Indians,  and  yet  preserves  traces  of  their  funeral  rites.  It  was  particularly  revered  as 
iht  spot  where  chiefs  and  noted  warriors  were  buried. 

Crossing  the  first  bridge,  from  which,  both  up  and  down  stream,  is  to  be  had  one 
of  the  grandest  views  of  the  Rapids,  you  reach  Bath  Island,  some  two  acres  in  extent 
A  few  rods  below  and  near  the  Falls,  is  Chapin  Island,  so-called  because  a  man  of  that

name,  in  1849,  while  repairing  the  bridge  fell  into  the  river,  but  succeeded  in  reaching  that  island,  from  which  he  was  soon 
rescued.     Cross  the  next  bridge  and  you  are  at  Goat  Island.  ^     ^  ,,  .     ,        ^  ,u„ 

Ascend  the  hill  and  turn  to  the  right-by  taking  this  route  you  get  the  less  impressive  view  of  the  Falls  at  first,  and  the 
more  grand  and  imposing  last-and  you  get  more  time  in  which  to  appreciate  the  magnificent  grandeur  and  awful  subhm.ty. 
Advancing  for  a  few  rods  through  the  forest,  you  reach  one  of  the  most  charming  views  of  Niagara.  ,.,.,. 

Descending  the  stairs  on  what,  from  its  shape,  is  called  " //ogS  Back,"  you  stand  next  to  the  Little  Fall,  beneath  which  is 
the  famous  Cave  of  the  Winds  ;  and  crossing  the  little  bridge  at  your  right  you  reach  Luna  Island.  .  „      .  . 

From  the  further  point,  protected  by  an  iron  rail,  we  see  the  most  desirable  near  view  of  the  American  Falls  and  Rapids 
-which  are  so  close  that  it  is  possible  to  dip  the  hand  into  the  rushing  tide  passing  over  the  verge.  Here.  too.  one  gels  an 
excellent  view  of  the  debris  of  rock  and  shale  deposited  by  the  action  of  the  torrent  at  the  foot  of  the  American  Fall,  and  also 

a  fine  perspective  of  the  gorge  below.  ,  .„,.•„  j  i  i  i„„^ 

^      ^  This  spot  is  called  Luna  Island, 

because  the  lunar  bow  is  seen  here 

to  the  best  advantage. 

It  has  often  been  remarked  by 
strangers  that  this  island  trembles, 
which  is  undoubtedly  true;  but  the 
impression  is  heightened  by  imagin- 
ation. 

It  was  wtiile  climbing  over  the 
rocks  directly  under  this  Island  that 
Dr.  Hungerford,  of  Troy,  N.  Y.,  was 
killed  in  the: spring  of  1839  by  the 
crumbling  of  a  portion  of  the  rock 
from  above.  ,  This  is  the  only  acci- 
dent that  ever  occurred  at  Niagara, 
by  the  falling  of  rock.

On  the  northern  shore  of  this  island,  a  few  feet  above  the  brink,  is  a  spot  of  mournful  memory.  On  June  21,  1849,  the 
family  of  Mr.  Deforest,  of  BulTalo,  with  a  friend,  Mr.  Chas.  Addington,  were  viewing  the  scenery  from  this  point.  The  party 
in  fine  spirits  were  about  leaving  the  island,  when  Mr.  Addington  advanced  playfully  to  Miss  Annette,  the  little  daughter 
of  Mr.  Deforest,  saying,  "  I  am  going  to  throw  you  in,"  at  the  same  time  lifting  her  over  the  edge  of  the  water.  With  a 
sudden  impulse  of  fear  the  child  sprang  from  his  hands  into  the  river.  With  a  shriek  the  young  man  sprang  to  save  her,  but 
before  those  on  shore  had  time  to  speak  or  move,  they  had  passed  over  the  precipice.  The  young  lady's  remains  wer«  found 
the  same  afternoon  in  the  Cave  of  the  winds  ;  and  in  a  few  days  afterward  the  body  of  the  gallant  but  fated  man  was  like- 
wise recovered  and  committed  to  the  village  cemetery.  This  is,  perhaps,  the  most  touching  casualty  that  ever  occurred  at  the 
Falls. 

Reaching  the  top  of  the  bank,  proceed  straight  ahead,  and  you  soon  catch  the  first  glimpse  of  the  "  Horseshoe  Falls"  so 
called  from  its  resemblance  to  that  article.     The  building  before  you  contains  the  dressing  rooms  for 
the  Cave  of  the  winds,  and  leads  to  the  famous  Biddle  Stairs,  so  called  from   the  President  of  the  ^^^f    '^     ^

Shortly  after  their  erection,  the  well 
known  Sam  Patch,  whose  diving  propen- 
sities made  his  name  a  household  word, 
made  his  famous  leap  of  too  feet  into  the 
river,  in  i8^o.  Midway  between  the  foot 
of  the-io  stairs  and  the  Canadian  Fall  he 
erecteu  a  scaffold  96  feet  high,  from  which 
he  made  his  successful  leap.  He  repeated 
it  successfully  the  same  year  ;  then  went 
to  the  Genesee  Falls,  at  Rochester,  and 
jumped  and  was  killed.  He  never  rose 
to  the  surface  after  he  jumped,  and  his 
body  was  not  found  for  some  days,  and 
then  miles  away. 


After  leaving  the  Biddle  Stairs,  follow  the  path  along  the  bank,  and  you  soon  reach  the  spot  where  a  huge  slice  of  the 
land  has  fallen.  One  slide  occurred  in  1843,  another  in  1847.  Within  20  yea .s  more  than  20  feet  in  width  and  400  feet  in 
length  have  gone  down.  Proceed  a  little  further  and  you  stand  above  and  in  full  view  of  the  Canadian  Fall.  Go  down  the 
Terrapin  rocks;  it  may  be  tiresome,  but  it  will  amply  repay  you. 

The  bridge  is  subject  to  the  action  of  the  spray;  care  should  be  taken  in  crossing  it.  In  the  winter  of  1852,  a  gentleman 
from  West  Troy,  N.  Y.,  while  crossing  to  the  tower,  fell  in'  )  the  current  and  was  carried  into  the  verge  of  the  Fall,  where  he 
lodged  between  two  rocks.  He  v/as  discovered  by  two  citizens,  who  rescued  him  by  throwing  out  lines,  which  he  fastened 
around  his  body  just  in  time,  and  was  hauled  in  almost  senseless.  He  remained  speechless  for  several  hours  after  being 
taken  to  his  hotel. 

As  you  stand  inside  the  iron  rail  and  overlook  the  vast  gulf  below,  you  are  in  the  very  center  of  the  Niagara. 

The  old  Terrapin  Tower,  also  called  Horseshoe  or  Prospect  Tower,  of  which  we  give  an  illustration,  stood  on  these  rocks. 
It  was  built  in  1833,  of  stones  gathered  in  the  vicinity.  A  round  tower,  45  feet  high,  12  feet  diameter  at  base,  and  eight  feet  at 
top,  with  a  gallery  near  the  upper  end — a  rugged  structure,  in  perfect  harmony  with  its  surroundings.     It  was  blown  up  by

the  wish  of  a  majority  of  the  owners  of  the  Great  Island  group,  in  1873,  some  pre- 
tendinR  to  believe  it  unsafe.  Its  destruction  was  entirely  unnecessary,  and  took 
away  a  charming  feature  of  Niagara,  w(  ich  it  is  hoped  may  scon  be  replaced. 
Table  rock,  which  fell  in  1850,  was  directly  opposite  the  Canadian  Shore. 

You  soon  reach  the  Three  Sisters  Islands,  which  were  connected  with  Goat 
Island  by  handsome  suspension  bridges  in  1868.  and  which  open  up  an  entirely 
new  scene.  The  grandest  views  of  the  Rapids  to  be  found  at  Niagara  are  right 
before  you.  These  isla'.ds  offer,  from  their  location,  an  unchangi;able  cool  retreat 
in  summer,  with  enchanting  views  of  the  scenery,  the  cascades  under  the  bridges.

formed  by  the  current  pansinif  over  the  ledges  of  rock,  being  amongst  the  chief  •ttraition*.  From  the  heu<l  of  the  Third  Sister 
may  be  seen  one  continuous  cascade,  extending  as  far  as  the  eye  can  reach  from  (ioai  island  across  to  the  Canadian  shore, 
varying  from  ten  to  twenty  feet  in  height.  From  this  miniature  Niagara  rises  a  spray  similar  to  that  of  the  great  Falls.  The 
•  Little  Urother,"  a  small  island  at  the  foot  of  the  Third  Sister,  has  not  yet  been  bridged. 

When  you  get  back  to  (ioat  Island,  you  can  return  to  the  bridge  by  a  short  way  oy  taking  the  road  straight  ahead 
through  the  woods.  It  is  best,  however,  to  see  the  other  views,  and  )  do  this  you  turn  :i  your  right,  and  follow  the  road 
directly  east.  Here  one  sees  how  it  was  possible  for  the  island  to  havj  reached  a  lonsj  way  up  stream,  for  a  bar  extends  up 
between  the  currents  for  nearly  half  a  mile,  with  a  depth  of  water  not  over  four  ftet.  This  also  shows  how  it  was  possible 
for  people  to  visit  the  island  before  the  bridge  was  built. 


After  leaving  the  head  of  the  island,  from  the  road 
bridge  is  a  spring  of  cool  water,  situated  al  the  foot  of 
of  the  Rapids  through  the  trees  and  at  their  edge  is  fine.

Next  in  order  comes 


you    get  a  good  view   of   the  Ranids.       Half  way  to  the 
the  bank.     Th- path  to  it       easily  £-cessible,  and  the  view 

e  well  known  Prospect  Park. 
Its  main  entrance  is  a  tasty 
strucf;-e.  The  point  of  land 
at  th  Ige  and  brink  of  the

and  commands  a  fine  view,

NEW  SUSPENSION  BRIDGE.— Next  in  order  comes  the  New  Suspension 
Bridge,  directly  below  the  American  and  Canadian  (Horseshoe)  Falls.  It  was  origin- 
ally built  in  1868-69  with  wooden  truss  and  towers.  In  1884  new  towers  of  iron  were 
put  in,  and  in  1887-88  new  cables,  anchorages  and  steel  truss  were  substituted  for  the 
original  ones,  making  the  entire  structure  actually  new,  and  widened  to  allow  the  pass- 
ing  of  carriages  The  length  of  span  is  1,268  feet  between  towers.  Height  of  roadway  above  river,  190  feet.  Height  of 
towers  100  feet.  Length  of  cables  between  anchorages  1,840  feet.  The  entire  work  of  rebuilding  the  bridges  was  accom- 
plished without  interruption  to  travel.  A  particularly  fine  view  of  both  the  American  and  Horseshoe  Falls,  as  well  as  the 
river  below,  is  obtained  from  the  bridge.     Charges— each  person  to  cross  and  return,  25  cents.

TABLE  ROCK. — One  of  the  most  famous  points  about  Niagara 
in  old  times,  now  gone  forever,  was  Table  Rock.  This  was  at  the  point 
on  the  Canada  side  about  ten  rods  below  the  Falls,  and  was  simply  a 
huge  ledge  of  rock  overhanging  the  precipice.  One  should  visit  Canada 
in  the  afternoon,  for  the  sun  is  then  at  your  back,  and  its  full  glory  is 
thrown  on  the  opposite  Falls,  and  in  the  afternoon  alone  can  rainbows 
be  seen  on  the  Canada  side. 

CANADIAN  ISLANDS.— Following  along  the  river  bank,  one 
crosses  to  Cedar  Island,  on  which  is  an  observatory  or  pagoda,  and 
skirting  along  the  Rapids  for  about  a  mile,  with  as  fine  scenery  as 
Niagara  can  afford,  you  reach  the  beautiful  Clark  Hill  Islands,  three  in 
number,  and  connected  by  beautiful  suspension  bridges,  erected  in 
1878.     The  scenery  here  is  grand,  each  turn  bringing  you  to  some  new

Bridge,  which  carries  us  over  to

come  to  the  New  Cantilever  Bridge. 

CANTILEVER  BRIDGE.— 
This  bridge  was  the  first  one  of  any 
magnitude  ever  constructed  on  the 
cantilever  principle.  It  is  a  marvel 
of  engineering  skill.  It  was  built 
by  the  Central  Bridge  Works,  Buf- 
falo, N.  Y.,  for  the  Michigan  Cen- 
tral Railroad  Co.,  and  was  designed 

to  connect  the  New  York  Central  and  Michigan  Central  Railroads, 
following  accurate  details  of  the  dimensions,  etc.: 

Length  of  bridge  proper  from  center  to  center  of  end  pins,  9:0  feet,  divided  into  two  cantilevers  of  395  feet  each,  and 
intermediate  span  of  119  feet. 

The  towers  are  braced  wrought  iron  structures,  and  rest  on  masonry  piers  38  feet  high.  The  foundations  under  the 
towers  are  of  beton, eight  feet  thick,  built  directly  on  the  rock,  forming  a  uniform,  solid  and  endurable  mass.  The  trusses  are 
two  in  number,  28  feet  apart  between  centers;  the  panels  are  25  feet  long,  excepting  those  of  the  intermediate  spans,  which 
are  24  feet,  and  the  end  panels  on  the  shore  arms  of  the  cantilevers,  which  are  20  feet  long.  The  depth  of  the  cantilever 
trusses  from  the  towers  is  56  feet,  and  at  the  ends  21  feet  at  the  shore  ends,  and  26  feet  at  the  river  ends. 

The  structure  has  been  proportioned  to  carry,  in  addition  to  its  own  weight,  a  freight  train  on  each  track  at  the  same

l!!^WHIRLPOOL  RAPIDS  PARK 

THE  Whirlpool  Rapids  and  Park  is  situated  on  the  Canada 
side  of  Niagara  River,  just  below  the  great  Railway 
Suspension  and  Cantilever  Bridges.  The  edge  of  the  Rapids 
IS  reached  by  an 

INCLINED    RAILWAY 

worked  upon  an  exceedingly  safe  and  simple  principle.  There 
are  two  cars  connected  by  two  endless  sieel  wire  cables,  and 
are  run  by  the  weight  of  water.  Having  reached  the  edge  of 
the  Rapids  by  the  means  described,  the  visitor  finds  himself 
in  the  midst  of  a  scene  of  wild  grandeur  which  is  almost  inde- 
scribable. For  nearly  400  feet  the  cliffs  rise  in  a  nearly  per- 
pendicular line,  and  at  their  feet  the  wildly  rushing  waters 
leaping  in^-  .he  air  to  a  height  of  thirty  and  forty  feet,  and 
dashing  itstlf  into  white  foam  against  the  rocks,  forms  an 
ever  varying  scene  which  fascinates  and  holds  spell-bound  the 
beholder.  Your  visit  to  Niagara  is  not  complete  without  this 
view,  and  that  you  may  carry  it  away  with  you,  we  can  make 
you  an  instantaneous  photograph  of  yourself  with  the  Rapids 
in  the  background— a  souvenir  of  your  visit  to  Niagara  that 
will  be  a  "thing  of  beauty  and  a  joy  forever."

time,  weighing  one  ton  per  lineal  foot,  with  each  train  headed  by  76-ton  consolidation  engines. 
The  material  comprising  the  superstructure  is  openhearth  steel  and  wrought  iron.  The  towers 
and  heavy  compression  members,  such  as  lower  cards  and  center  posts,  are  of  steel,  as  are  all 
pins. 

The  whole  of  the  super-structure  is  pin-connected,  and  these  are  made  of  steel. 

The  near  approach  to  the  main  structure  on  both  sides  are  substantial  iron  trestles  resting 
on  masonry  foundations  erected  upon  solid  rock.     300  feet  further  on,  we  come  to  the 

OLD  SUSPENSION  BRIDGE.— The  Railroad  Suspension  Bridge,  more  commonly  called 
the  Old  Bridge,  is  800  feet  long,  and  spans,  230  feet  above  its  waters,  one  of  the  most  turbulent 
streams  on  the  globe,  whose  current  just  below  flows  at  the  rate  of  30  miles  an  hour.  It  has  two 
distinct  roadways — the  one  above  for  trains,  the  one  below  for  carriages  and  foot  passengers.  It 
is  owned  by  two  stock  companies,  and  cost  $500,000.     The  following  are  the  dimensions: 

Length  of  span,  822  feet;  height  of  tower  above  rock,  American  side,  38  feet;  height  of  tower

a  cliff,  which  follows  the  course  of 
the  river,  and  has  been  excavated 
from  the  rock.  In  the  warm  days  of  summer  this  is  a  most 
delightfully  cool  and  shady  retreat,  the  cliff  forming  a  natural  protection  from  the 
rays  of  the  sun,  while  the  immediate  presence  of  the  swift-rolling  waters  insures  a 
perennial  coolness.  Two  means  of  access  to  the  water's  edge  are  provided,  the  first 
being  a  series  of  steps  forming  a  long  flight  of  stairs,  and  the  other  a  unique  inclined 
railway  operating  two  cars,  running  by  ihe  specific  gravity  of  water  in  the  tanks 
under  each  car,  filled  from  a  spring  at  the  top  of  the  clifl,  and  emptied  on  the  arrival 
of  the  cars  at  the  foot  of  the  incline.  The  ascent  or  descent  is  made  in  one  and  one- 
half  minutes,  the  loaded  car  from  above  being  the  motive. power  used  to  hoist  the 
lighter  car  from  below.  The  visit  to  this  park,  including  railroad,  costs  50  cents. 
Nowhere  else  can  so  perfect  an  idea  of  the  tnormous  power  of  the  river  be  obtained. 
Rushing  through  the  narrow  defiles,  the  water  here  meets  with  such  restriction  as  to 
make  it  leap  in  some  places  to  a  height  of  twenty  feet,  the  rolling  surges  of  the 
stream  being  exactly  similar  to  those  of  the  ocean  in  a  storm. 

It  is  also  well  to  add  here. a  brief  mention  of  the  excellent  photographic 
arrangements  of  this  Park.  Persons  or  parties  can  here  be  photographed  with  the 
Rapiits  in  the  background,  the  picture  making  one  of  the  most  interesting  and 
noteworthy  obtainable.

HOTEL  PORTER, 
Niagara  Falls,  N.Y., 
under  the  manage- 
ment of  Mr.  Robert  E. 
Murphy,  Proprietor,  late  of 
the  Hotel  Edison,  Schenec- 
tady, N.  v.,  will  open  its 
doors  to  the  public  for  the 
first  time,  June  ist,  1891, 
and  continue  open  the  year 
round. 

The  Hotel  Porter  has  been 
built  for  the  express  purpose 
of  filling  a  long-felt  want 
at  Niagara.  "  A  first-class 
hotel  at  reasonable  rates." 

The  Hotel  Porter  is  mod- 
ern throughout  in  its  ap- 
pointments,  and  the  charac- 
ter of  its  conveniences  ,  it 
is  lighted  by  gas  and  elec-

Returning  to  the  top  of  the  bank  we  proceed  a  few  rods  further  down  the  river,  and  find  ourselves  standing  on  the  preci- 
pice overlooking  the  boiling  Maelstrom,  the 

WHIRLPOOL,  CANADA  SIDE. 
While  directly  away  from  us  winds  the  Niagara  till  it  is  lost  in  Lake  Ontario  beyond.     If  you  desire  to  descend  to  the  water's 
edge,  retrace  your  steps  and  cross  to  the  American  side,  where  much  the  best  view 
can  be  had  from  the  De  Veaux  College  Grounds.     From  here  Brock's  monument  is 
visible  on  a  clear  day. 

BROCK'S  MONUMENT.— Brock's  Monument  is  on 
Queenston  Heights,  six  miles  be- 
low the  Falls.  It  is  a  handsome 
shaft,  erected  to  perpetuate  the 
memc  y  of  General  Isaac  Brock, 
who  fell  here  in  1813.  The  first 
monument  was  built  in  1826  and 
was  126  feet  high.  This  was  de- 
stroyed by  explosion  on  the  night 
of  the  17th  of  April,  1840,  and  was 
replaced  by  the  present  structure 
in  1853.  It  is  185  feet  in  height, 
the  base  being  40  feet  square  and 
30  feet  high.  Four  lions  facing 
the  cardinal  points  of  the  compass 
rest  on  this  as  well  as  on  the 
pedestal,  16  feel  square  by  lO  feet 
high,  ornamented  in  alto-relievo  by 
lions'  heads, alternated  by  wreaths. 
The  shaft  is  of  freestone,  75  feet

high  by  30  ft.  in  circumference,  having  a  Corinthian  capital  10  feet  in  height,  carrying  in  relief 
a  statue  of  the  Goddess  of  War.  Over  this  is  a  round  dome  seven  feet  in  height,  surmounted  by 
Brock's  statue,  and  an  be  reached  by  250  spiral  steps,  starting  from  the  interior  of  the  base. 

WHIRLPOOL  RAPIDS,  AMERICAN  SIDE— The  effect  of  changing  the  point  of  view 
is  nowhere  better  illustrated  than  in  the  case  of  the  Rapids  above  named.  Seen  from  the  Canada 
side  they  have  all  the  advantages  of  cool,  shady  walks  and  uplands  as  it  relates  to  the  position 
of  the  sun  in  the  warmest  portions  of  the  day.  But  as  seen  from  the  American  side  they  have  a 
peculiar  charm  in  the  fierce  glint  of  the  sunlight  illuminating  the  crests  of  the  flood,  and  in  the 
emerald  and  opal  translucence  of  the  waters  as  they  pass  in  their  swift  career. 

When  it  is  remembered  that  about  100,000,000  tons  of  water  pass  over  the  Falls  every  hour, 
and  that  this  quantity  is  compelled  to  pass  between  steep  cliffs  to  a  point  about  two  miles  distant 
from  the  Falls,  where  the  course  of  the  river  turns  abruptly  at  an  angle  oi  45  degrees,  it  will  be 
understood,  even  by  those  who  have  never  witnessed  the  scene,  that  such  a  terrific  force  must 
cause  a  fearful  commotion  in  its  rocky  bed.

,1  kiu\  '>f  Mr.  Howells'  '  Chance  Acquaintance  "—at. '1  Dun- 
kirk, to  Brocton  in  ih.  vineland  of  \Aestern  New  York  Here  the  train  turns  away  from 
the  lake  and  begins  to  climb  the  range  of  hills  which  forms  the  water-shed  between  the  St. 
Lawrence  and  the  Mississippi.  During  this  ascent  of  twenty  minutes  the  tourist  enjoys 
enchanting  views  of  vineyard-clad  hillsides,  broad  fields  dotted  with  farm  houses  and 
villages,  and  the  azure  plain  of  Erie's  waters  with  the  Canadian  shore  dimly  visible  on  the 
horizon.  A  few  minutes  run  from  the  summit  brings  the  train  to  the  very  shore  of  a  charming  lake,  small  in  comparison 
with  Erie  yonder,  ten  miles  away  and  seven  hundred  feet  below,  yet  a  good  twenty  miles  long,  in  some  places  narrowed 
almost  to  the  width  of  a  small  river  but  otherwhere  spreading  into  broad  bays  with  good  stretches  for  sailing  or  steaming. 
On  the  shores  of  this  twenty  mile  strip  of  water  are  various  settlements  which  collectively  offer  all  the  pleasures  (save  the 
sounding  of  the  sea,)  which  lure  people  from  home. 

"  A  city  upon  a  hill  "  is  Mayville.  the  pretty  village  at  the  head  of  Chautauqua  waters.  By  the  lakeside  the  Chautauqua 
House  opens  hospitable  doors.  The  high  promontory,  two  miles  below  on  the  north  shore,  is  Point  Chautauqua,  and  the 
imposing  structure  which  crowns  it  is  the  Grand  Hotel,  .\cross  the  lake  is  a  grove-covered  point,  of  which  more  anon. 
Scattered  at  intervals  along  the  shores  are  quiet  colonies :  Maple-Springs,  Whiteside's,  Long  Point,  Bemus  Point,  where  the 
lover  of  solitude  may  find  a  safr  retreat.  Near  the  foot  of  Chautauqua  lies  Lakewood,  a  beautiful  "  society  resort,"  with  well- 
kept  lawns,  handsome  private  cottages,  and  magnificent  modern  hotels,  of  which  the  Kent  House  and  the  Sterlingworth  Inn 
are  representative  types.  The  character  of  the  place  and  the  tone  of  the  society  are  quite  in  harmony  with  the  beauty  of  the 
grounds  and  the  good  taste  of  the  management.     Vis-a-vis  with  Lakewood.  a  new  summer  place  has  sprung  up.  Greenhurst.

■with  a  perfectly  appointed  hotel,  where  one  may  dine  al  fresco  in  true  continental  fashion.  A  half  hour's 
steaming  through  this  narrows  or  outlet,  which  calls  to  mind  some  portions  of  Florida  rivers,  brings  the 
tourist  to  the  pier  of  Jamestown,  one  of  the  most  flourishing  cities  of  Western  New  York.  So  ends  the 
panorama  of  this  Chautauqua  Lake.  But  the  power  which  has  made  Chautauqua  a  household  word  in  this 
and  other  lands  emanates  from  the  summer  city  three  miles  from  the  head  of  the  lake.  It  is  named 
Chautauqua. 

There  used  to  be  many  odd  notions  afloat  about  this  summer  city.     Time  was  when  people  fancied  it 

a  "camp  meeting,"  or  a  sort  of  boarding  school 
for   men  and    women,   who  were  compelled  to 
rise  and  go  to  bed  by  the  stroke  of  a  bell,  who 
practiced  all  the  austerities  of  life,  frowned  upon 
pleasure    in  every  form,  and   gained 
their  only  recreation  from  an  endless 
■  ~    .  round  of  pious  exercises  and  profound 

j^  ..  lectures.    Happily  these 

ideas — the  result  chiefly 
of    flippant  press  correspondence  and  the 
American  fondness  for  a  joke — have  given 
place  to  a   better   understanding  of   what 
Chautauqua  is  and  aims  to  be.    The 
name  of   Chautauqua  has  become 
.associated  with  a  system  of  educa- 
tion which  has  done  much  to  aid 
the  ambitious  in  self-imposed  tasks. 
The   principle   now  so  generally 
accepted,    that    education     is    the 
privilege  of    all,  young    and   old.

rich  and  poor,  that  mental  development  is  only  begun  in  school  and  college,  and

it  is  with  the  summer  community  life  that  we  have  now  to  do. 

Chautauqua— (Post-office,  Chautauqua,  N.  Y.,  Express  Office,  Chautauqua,  N.

There  is  also  a  direct  approach  by  rail  from  Mayville  at  the  head  of  the  lake.

cool  and  invigorating.  At  night  the  grounds  arc  brilliantly  illuminated  by  the  electric  light,  and  St.  Paul's  grove,  in  the 
midst  of  which  stands  the  white  "  Hall  in  the  Grove,"  the  center  of  the  Chautauqua  Literary  and  Scientific  Circle,  is  lighted 
by  flaring  Athenian  watth-fires.  The  C  igregationalists,  Presbyterians,  Methodist-Episcopalians  and  United  Presbyterians 
all  have  handsome  and  commodious  club-houses,  and  other  denominations  have  similar  buildings  in  prospect. 

For  the  summer  of  1891  Chautauqua  offers  educational  opportunities  and  means  of  intellectual  quickening  to  the  people 
of  the  United  States.  Under  Dr.  W.  R.  Harper,  of  Yale,  the  linguist,  is  a  complete  college  with  professors  from  the  leading 
Universities  of  the  land.  Here  are  classes  in  language,  literature  and  science.  Col.  Francis  W.  Parker,  of  the  Cook  County 
Normal  School,  Chicago,  III.,  conducts  a  School  of  Methods  for  secular  teachers.  Under  his  insp<rition,  daily  tasks  in  the 
class-room  are  no  longer  mere  drudgery,  but  become  the  keenest  pleasure.  In  the  schools  of  Sacred  Scripture  the  great  book 
is  E.:udied  carefully  and  critically  under  such  well-known  teachers  as  Prof.  William  Henry  Gree.i,  of  Princeton,  Dr.  Harper 
himself,  and  others.  A  Music  School  under  the  charge  of  Dr. 
H.  P  Palmer  of  New  York,  assisted  by  men  like  W.  H.  Sher- 
wood, the  pianist,  I.  V.  Flagler,  the  organist,  and  J.  H.  Wheeler, 
the  vocal  teacher,  offers  complete  courses  in  the  theory  and 
practice  of  music. 

Besides  these  regularly  constituted  departments,  there  are 
classes  in  Elocution  and  Oratory,  the  Delsarte  system,  China 
Painting,  Wood  Carving,  Industrial  Drawing,  Letter  Writing, 
Shorthand  and  Typewriting,  Penmanship  and  Book-keeping, 
Photography  and  the  like. 

But  Chautauqua  gives  more  than  all  these.  In  other  cities 
public  functions  are  limited  to  the  care  of  streets,  the  supply  of 
water,  and  the  material  welfare  of  the  community.  But  Chau- 
tauqua goes  a  step  farther.  The  tax  which  is  levied  upon  the 
citizens  is  expended  in  providing  lectures,  concerts,  entertain- 
ments, free  to  all  alike.  Hither  come  men  and  women  ;>vcminent 
in  all  departments  of  life.  William  T.  Harris,  LL.  ,  Jnited 
States  Commissioner  of  Education,  has  always  been  in  sy  vipathy  new  gvm.nasium  and  boat  house.

the  Assembly    audience  August  i8,  on  some  national  theme.     Miss  Francis  E. 
Willard,  a  firm  friend  to  Chautauqua,  has  happily  found  time  from  her  many 

engagements  for  an  address  Saturday,  August  ist.  Dr.  John  Henry  Barrows, 
of  Chicago,  the  well-known  Presbyterian  pastor,  will  preach  on  Sunday,  August 
2,  and  give  a  short  course  the  week  following.  The  United  States  Navy  will  be 
the  subject  of  two  lectures  by  Mr.  Henry  W.  Raymond,  Private  Secretary  to 
Secretary  Tracy,  of  the  Navy  Department.  These  lectures  will  be  profusely  illustrated  with  stereoplicon  views  (many  of 
them  made  expressly  for  Chautauqua),  which  will  show  the  contrast  between  vessels  of  the  old  type  and  the  new  "Squadron 
of  Evolution."  "  How  the  Other  Half  Lives"  is  the  title  of  a  book  (published  by  Charles  Scribner's  Sons,  New  York)  which 
has  aroused  great  interest  and  provoked  active  discussion.  This  volume  describes  tenement  life  in  New  York  City,  and 
makes  startling  statements  concerning  it.  Mr.  Jacob  A.  Riis,  the  author,  will  give  two  lectures,  with  stereopticon  illustra- 
tions, upon  this  increasingly  important  question.  Mrs.  Julia  Ward  Howe,  of  Boston,  the  cultivated  author  and  lecturer,  will 
give  three  lectures  in  August  upon  timely  sul-jects.  Mrs.  Zerelda  Wallace,  mother  of  Gen.  Lew  Wallace,  and  a  speaker  of 
marked  ability,  will  make  an  address  July  22,  on  "  Political  Equality."  Miss  Grace  Dodge,  of  New  York,  who  has  done  so 
much   to  promote  the  interests  of  "Working  Girls'   Clubs,"  will  spend  a  few  days  at  Chautauqua  and  speak  before  tha

people  prefer  to  combine 
profit  with  pleasure,  but 
Chautauqua  is  run  upon 
the  "American  plan."  The  visitor  pays  so  much  a  day,  takes  what  he 
pleases  from  the  bill  of  fare,  and  leaves  the  rest  alone.  If  a  man  prefers 
to  dine  entirely  upon  desert  that  is  his  own  affair,  and  Chautauqua  hopes 
only  that  it  may  agree  with  him. 

In  closing,  it  should  be  remembered  that  Chautauqua  is  not  only  a 
place;  that  its  influence  extends  over  'his  and  other  lands;  that  in  the 
Chautauqua  Literary  and  Scientific  Circle  there  are  thousands  of  earnest 
readers  who  are  seeking  the  true  happiness  which  comes  from  intellectual 
effort;  who  are  reading  diligently  and  systematically  in  literature,  history 
and  art;  who  are  encouraged  with  the  thought  that  "education  endsonly  with 
life,"  that  it  is  never  too  late  to  accomplish  something,  and  that  he  loses 
sight  of  the  great  object  of  life  who  does  not  by  persistent  effort  try  to 
develop  himself  to  the  utmost  of  his  ability.  Chautauqua  is  perhaps  doing 
its  best  work  in  the  homes  of  the  American  people, 


neglected.  Chautauqua  is  sometimes  represented  as  a  Puritan-like  colony, 
whence  "  jest  and  youthful  jollity  "  are  banished,  and  where  sport  of  every 
kind  is  frowned  upon.  Now,  while  it  is  true  that  certain  amusements  are 
for  many  reasons  tabooed,  yet,  on  the  other  hand,  every  facility  is  offered 
for  the  f     lyment  of  what  is  unquestionably  wholesome  and  healthful. 

Nor  again,  is  this  summer  city  given  up  wholly  to  the  pursuit  of  liter- 
ature,  science  and  art.  If  one  is  so  inclined  he  may  spend  a  summer  at 
Chautauqua  without  any  more  intellectual  wear  and  tear  than  is  involved 
in  listening  to  bright,  humorous  lectures,  entertaining  readings  and  good 
music,  in  watching  fire-works  and  illuminated  fleets,  and  in  taking 
athletic  exerc'se.      Most
